for Nancy

I just got the email (below) from a friend and former landlord. In just the time I started this walk (February) to now, her sister was diagnosed and died from breast cancer:

Molly... Are you still walking? I am sticking $100 in the mail today and I can send more if you need it to make your goal.

My sister (my only one!) died March 13th of complications in the lungs from stage 4 Breast Cancer. It was sooner than we expected. But at least she was spared the pain, because it had gone to her bones.

Please say her name when you walk ....Nancy.

She was only 66 and gave so much to her student as a Professor of Education at Catholic University. Such a waste. I hope they find a cure soon.

P.S. I have a buyer for the house. It will be an end of an era, because my sister helped me find and buy it.

Please consider clicking here to donate to the Avon Foundation. The walk is this Saturday and Sunday and we will be walking for Nancy, and for all of the other women who have fought breast cancer.
